This player has a lot of bad reviews from various places on the internet. From what I've read so far they mainly point to it having issues connecting to things via wifi. They're also refurbs. Keeping all of that in consideration, even with the stated problems, in my book $19.99 for a machine that will play a blu-ray movie (if nothing else) is still a pretty good deal.

Just bought one; if you scroll through to the last pages, there are higher grade ones. The highest I saw were 8s. As much as I despise BestBuy, I just couldn't pass up a Blu-Ray player at $30 shipped.... Also since they are owned by Bestbuy, expect tax.

It's been a while and I can't remember what I paid for mine, but I can tell you this is a heck of a lot cheaper! Still going strong, it's great player! I don't use the wifi since my (also Samsung) tv has wifi too, but it's a neat feature to have.

@jnbapst: I think you will find that streaming movies over he internet (via Netflix or blockbuster) is best when using a physical Ethernet cable. WIFI just isn't really keeping up with that type of stream just yet, and can lead to choppy video that stops mid-movie or tries to constantly reload... That will definitely ruin any movie experience: even the anniversary edition of Beaches would be horrible!

A couple of weeks ago I returned a Sony Google TV player to Best Buy. It was stuck in a boot loop. I actually saw the store employees put it right back on the shelf. I will never by anything previously owned or refurbished from Besy Buy.

I have a Samsung BD6500. It freezes often but usually restarts, but on Lord of the Rings it stops about an hour into the movie and will not go further. Streaming is pretty bad too. I have kept up with all firmware updates. I went to Costco and got a Sony and it works great. I am finished with Samsung. I have a camera that didn't last 2 years. I have a DLP HDTV that started getting spots, found out there was a secret program to replace the chip but only if the customer found out about the program.

Well I did the other one , "Deal of the Day" BD-E5300ZA ($25+$5ship) without the Wifi , only because I found a condtion 8 and it will be hard-wired (and lightly used in a second bedroom) .
First time for a Cowboom transaction for me so if it sucks its going back and all I loose is $5 in shipping costs .

Not sold out - I just ordered one (condition 8) and the code worked to reduced from $40 to $20 plus shipping and tax (I live in NY). Total still under $30 which seems pretty good for a wifi bluray player. First time ordering through Cowboom so we'll have to see how it goes. Double protected used paypal on credit card.

Picked it up as a spare or maybe a gift for someone that needs an extra. Found an "8" with remote and coupon worked with no problem. Shipping and tax brought my total to $28.89. Would have liked a manual but that's no big deal, I can print one.

Not all of the 8's are at the end. they seem to be scattered around the listing. I saw a bunch of 7's too. When i added the warranty and shipping, it got to $33 for me. Since I don't actually own any BR, I will have to pass.

Seeing these are "preowned" and not "refurbs", I'm pretty sure that means that people have used and then traded them back in. I have to say that people can be pretty %^&*# disgusting. I would never buy something pre-owned or traded in after working in retail and seeing what got returned to the stores... yuck.

Refurbs, ok, yeah, sure, but something that's been in billy bob's bachelor house for 5 months and carried into the store under his stinky, sweaty armpit? I don't even want to mention how gross the remotes must be... no way, no thanks, I'd rather pay more.

Besides, even if it was refurb or new, the fact that this deal has anything to do with Best Buy (worst buy) seals it for me.. I wouldn't buy it if it was a penny. But that's just me and my .02

Wow... someone complaining about $7.50 shipping? Do you live in some magical world where people will deliver everything for you free of charge just because you are so great? There is no free shipping- just some places build it in to their profit margins and price.

Just picked one up was $27.48 with taxes and shipping. A great deal, and while I was at it found a brand new Insignia 42" LCD 120Hz (NS-42L260A13) for $289. I have always had very good luck with Cowboom, and even when I had to deal with Customer Service they have always taken care of me.

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
